Hmmm…I would say that “ AI “ and related technologies are the most misunderstood things that people now hear about almost everyday. Especially with the huge advances in computational power largely due to NVIDIA GPU’s which are incredibly powerful compared to even just a couple of years ago. This combined with much more advanced Large Language Models which are advancing just as quickly as the hardware through the use of advanced Machine Learning algorithms has really changed the game so to speak.
The possibilities for major advancements in especially the field of medicine are just incredible. Developing new molecules for drug discovery in a fraction of the time that it has usually taken for example. It will save lives without question. The possibility of finding new treatments and even cures for cancer have never been greater. And that’s just one field. The possibilities are almost endless.
Of course like any technology the potential for misuse is also there but we won’t be being taken over by or wiped out by any products of AI technology anytime soon. Not to say that regulations and controls shouldn’t be developed, agreed upon by the major governments and companies and put in place as there always is the other side of the coin. Splitting the atom made large amounts of clean energy available and made medical imaging much more advanced but it also made the A- bomb possible.
Most people may not be aware but AI is far from new, the term was first coined in 1955 . Lol. As for my “ best friend “ Perplexity it’s simply a search engine much like any other. it doesn’t create any answers or content so to speak it just simply scrapes the web to find a variety of pertinent information related to your question.
